fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that
require the MERCON
威
V type fluid.
MERCON
威
and MERCON
威
V type fluids are not interchangeable.
DO NOT mix MERCON
威
and MERCON
威
V. Use of a transmission
fluid that indicates dual usage (MERCON
威
and MERCON

V) in
an automatic transmission application requiring MERCON
威
may
cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling
system, actual refill capacities will vary based on vehicle application and
transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size, cooling lines, auxiliary
cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level
should be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.

Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and
is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be
checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.
6
Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 1/4-9/16 inch
(6-14 mm) below the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level
surface.
Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier or equivalent meeting
Ford specification EST-M2C118–A, for complete fill of 8.8 inch and 9.75
inch Traction-Lok axles.
7
Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to the bottom of
the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.
For 10.25 inch Traction-Lok axles, use 6.5 pints (3.1L) of Motorcraft SAE
75W-140 Synthetic Rear Axle Lubricant and 8 oz. (236 ml) of Additive
Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting Ford Specification
EST-M2C118-A.

Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine
oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification
WSS-M2C930-A and the API Certification mark.
